ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Righteous men were persecuted, but by the lawless; they were imprisoned, but by the unholy; they were stoned by transgressors; they were slain by those who had taken up an abominable and unrighteous jealousy.
Or were Ananias and Azarias and Misael shut up in the fiery furnace by those who worshiped the magnificent and glorious worship of the Most High? By no means may such a thing be! Who then were they who did these things? They were the hateful and the full of all wickedness, who were stirred up to such a pitch of fury as to cast into torment those who served God with a holy and blameless purpose, not knowing that the Most High is the champion and defender of those who worship His all-virtuous name with a pure conscience; to whom be glory unto the ages of ages. Amen.
But those who endured in confidence inherited glory and honor; they were exalted and were inscribed by God in His memorial unto the ages of ages. Amen.
